"Slean Libh"
By Dominic Behan
(Click)

"Sisters and brothers, comrades all, who trod the olden road with me
In answer to our nation's call, dear Mother Erin sworn to free
To you who'll carry on the fight my share of deathless hope I give
Before I pass into the night, Slean libh!

Slean libh! a simple Irish phrase of parting but to meet again
'Twixt comrades who thro' night and days for her dear sake strove might and main
For her dear sake, remember me, for her dear sake, my faults forgive
God speed the fight for liberty, Slean libh!

Your work allows no time for rest, for longest life is merest span
Your cause, the bravest, noblest, best that e'er inspired the heart of man
Fight on! Fear not! For God is just! The tyrant soon shall cease to live!
And pray for those whose bones are dust, Slean libh!"

"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Publius]

In 1798, a nobleman named Count von Browne-Camus entered Lou Beethoven’s life. He was an Irish adventurer who had served in the Russian military and picked up some lands as a result. Brownie had an interest in the arts and provided Beethoven with quite a bit of money, but like so many patrons of the arts he eventually lost his shirt. Beethoven dedicated his three sonatas of Opus10 to Brownie’s wife.

There is a special place for the key of C minor in Beethoven’s output. There were long periods when Lou did not compose and had grave doubts about his art. Then somebody close to him would die, and he would write a piece in C minor that ended forte. This C minor piece would send him off on a long period of composing until his next crisis of faith. During the periods when he was composing just fine, if he wrote a piece in C minor, it would taper off and end piano.

The first of the Opus10 sonatas is the Piano Sonata in C minor, Op. 10/1, and it ends quietly. It even looks back to the sonatas of Mozart and Haydn with a three movement format.

The first movement lacks a speed direction, probably because of carelessness on the part of either Beethoven or his publisher. It’s in 3/4 and generally played allegro.
The opening rocking theme in C minor leads to a transitional passage in A-flat and then a second subject in E-flat. The exposition repeats.
At 3:18, Beethoven starts his development of the first subject in C Major, then through a transition into F minor. It’s a very short development.
At 4:11, he recaps. This time his transition puts the second subject in C Major, but then he states it in C minor, totally changing the mood. He ends it with a quarter note and fills the remainder of the bar with rests. It’s another case of making clear that the end is silence.

His slow movement is marked adagio molto, “very slow”, and is in A-flat in 2/4. This is a hymn-like melody that is one of his conversations with God. At each stage the ornamentation between notes of the pulse uses faster and faster notes. The central panel turns to E-flat before returning to A-flat. He finishes by staggering each hand one-half beat off the other.

The finale is in sonata format, 2/2 time and is marked prestissimo. He doesn’t write a transitional passage but goes straight into his second subject in E-flat. He repeats the exposition
At 16:34, he goes off into a short development of the first subject that takes only a few bars and fewer seconds,
At 16:52, he recaps. His second subject now appears in C Major, but he immediately re-composes it in C minor. In a move that only Beethoven could pull off, he slows it down, returns to A-flat, and makes you question just how he is going to end it. But he jumps back into C minor at high speed, then softens into a quiet C Major end.

Beethoven: Piano Sonata in C minor, Op. 10/1

I was watching "Frankenweenie" on Starz. Funny film.

I'll be here for a while tonight, and tomorrow night I have another Beethoven sonata.

It was a Tim Burton stop-action animation film done for Disney about a kid who brings his dog back to life. It’s shot in black and white, and in conscious imitation of the 1931 “Frankenstein”.
